[Feature]: Sync stack trace, other details to timeline hover #39638

🚀 Feature Request

When trying to understand a test using the playwright test ui, it's difficult to tell just by hovering the timeline at what point of the test that snapshot is located. I have to click each time on the timeline to understand that.

This leads to a guessing game, where I am clicking around, looking at whatever I end up with, and figuring out whether I am before or after a point of interest in the test. It's clumsy and time consuming.

Example

In any sceanrio where the built in test ui is being used.

Motivation

It will hugely elevate the ability to understand a test's anatomy, as just simply hovering through the timeline can someone understand how the code, the stack trace, etc... are really doing. I'd consider it an essential feature really, and it's always felt inadequate in this way from the beginning.
